I’ve mentioned recently that there were several boot camp grads, who after attending, cashed in big time. They started businesses, wrote books, etc., and it was their boot camp experience and technology they learned that made the difference.
One grad just emailed me about some outstanding success he’s had over the past few years after boot camp. He’s built several very successful businesses, and wants to help us here at VisionForce (and you, if you’re interested).
(Immediately after boot camp his income increased by 10K per month, and he went on to start several businesses that still, 3 years later, bring him in 4-5 figures per month. He soon paid off his $145,000 personal debt and then built another business that is now valued at 1.5 – 3 Million, and he’s selling it right now.)
So what’s the difference between him and VisionForce? Why has he experienced incredible business success, while we’re still figuring things out? It comes down to the business model. We at VisionForce are building a very non-traditional model and have not been content to do “business as usual.”
He, on the other hand has zeroed in on a very simple, powerful business model and has replicated it over and over again. It’s a business model that works well with the internet and he is creating a plan to train us at VisionForce in the advanced concepts behind his model.
If you want in, or at least want a peek at his business concepts, go to this special page I created exclusively for VisionForce friends.

Nov 18th, 2006You know, the moment I read that someone in a “new movement for change” has cashed in and is making 10K per month (especially after having taken a course or gone to some sort of retreat–or in your case” boot camp”), I get that incredible sinking feeling. I’ve discovered yet another bogus philosophy that starts with “We all have the power to change the world,” and continues with “…as long as we don’t change it too much. I mean, I we do not want to touch the American dream,” and ends with “Well, MY world changed, anyway.” That goal–to make big bucks–is at the very centre of position thinking, and it is one of the main reasons there is conflict in the world. I think you know this and I think you have strayed far from your own statement of visionary thinking.

Nov 18th, 2006Is making a profit incompatible with changing the world? I see money/ wealth as a measure of the difference someone is making in the world. If its honest, if it provides real value, then naturally it will make a bigger difference, and resources will flow to the people and organizations behind it.
Look at Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. They’ve created millionaires, successful businesses, incredible value in the world. They’ve created billions in net personal assets. Now, they plan on giving it back to improve the world. http://tinyurl.com/fnbgg
You can learn all kinds of tools… but its all in how you use them.
Purpose is what defines us as positionary or visionary. This is an interesting comment to consider. Is Visionforce out to change the world, help people be successful in business, or BOTH ?
Where are how does positionary thinking creep into our thoughts? Am I thinking from a position, or from a vision?
This is a fascinating conversation, a good topic for the Visionary Mind Shifts: http://www.visionforce.com/forums/
